<h4>Chapter 24: Marinthalis City</h4>


    I felt the star energy in my body tremble slightly as soon as I entered the portal, but it settled down after a few seconds.


    '' I wonder when I''ll be able to use it''.


    I thought to myself,


    Perhaps one of the most powerful abilities is the ability to modify space and time.


    I could think of only a few abilities that can rival my ability, and it is one of my most critical trump cards right now; therefore, I wish to make use of it as soon as possible.


    I emerged from the portal into arge cavern reminiscent to the one I had encountered on Eve''s Continent. This one, on the other hand, was bigger and ornamented with exquisite embellishments that alluded to Darkoina''s riches. The difference was obvious, since moving from one continent to another meant not just a change in location, but also a shift in the basic core of the environment.


    I couldn''t help but notice the less fortunate individuals who had followed me through the portal as I stood there, undisturbed by the space disoriented sensation thates after traveling through teleportation.


    Their expressions were a mix of astonishment and difort, and a number of them appeared to be on the verge of vomiting.


    While my special talent protected me from the worst of these side effects, I couldn''t help but sympathize with their situation, quietly d for the advantages that I had.


    When we had all exited the portal, the imposing gate of the chamber swung open, and we began our walk into the huge main hall. The presence of alert troops who stood as strong guards of this portal center dominated the vast region. Counters were strategically ced throughout the hall to serve as identification validation checkpoints.


    As I approached one of the desks, I was met by a receptionist, a kind woman with a professional manner. She took a look at the pass I handed her and nodded.


    "Ah, special permission," says the receptionist. "Aren''t you one of the fortunate few?"


    I couldn''t help but look around as I noticed individuals forming long queues to verify their identities.


    "It has its benefits."


    I said returning my gaze back to thedy.


    "Well, I hope you enjoy your stay in Marinthalis City, If you have any questions or want assistance, please do not hesitate to ask."


    Says the receptionist.


    "Thank you, but I don''t need any ".


    With a grateful nod, I proceeded on my way, leaving the receptionist to help other tourists.


    I went out of the building and was weed with the fresh new city, Marinthalis City, a huge metropolis that stood as a tribute to both architectural splendor and busymerce. It was an economic center unlike any I''d seen before, and its architecture was breathtaking.


    Marinthalis City was conveniently located along the shore, making it one of the world''srgest ports. Its vast harbor was overflowing with ships of all types, from gigantic galleons to agile fishing boats. The city''s economy was inextricably linked to its marine trade, and the constant influx ofmodities and people from all over the world gave it a cosmopolitan feel.


    Not all kingdom were eager to ept the dangerous ease of teleportation portals in a world full of marvelous marvels and different nations. For many kingdoms, old traditions remained strong, and time-tested trade andmercial practices remained unchanged. These tenacious kingdoms stuck to the sea routes, navigating the great waters with tenacity.


    The kingdom of Drawfs is the best example of this. They reside on an ind and have severe tradews in their realm. They produce the majority of the world''s finest weapons. Because they are not fighters, they prefer to travel by sea, with only a few key people knowing where their kingdom reside.


    The architecture of the city was a blend of majesty and functionality. The skyline was lined with towering spires and beautiful facades, testaments to the riches and influence of its inhabitants. Among these luxurious constructions, however, were lively marketces and poor dwellings where the working ssbored and merchants plied their trade.


    As I navigate throughout the city, I try to match thendmarks and different locations from the game.


    The Marinthalis Merchant Guild, a massive edifice that dominated the waterfront, was one of the city''s most famousndmarks. Its marble columns and borate mosaics oozed grandeur, and merchants from all over the continent flocked within its sacred halls to negotiate bargains and create alliances. It was a location where fortunes were earned and lost, and wheremerce was elevated to the level of a fine profession.


    The Marinthalis Adventure Guild, next to the Merchant Guild, was a gathering ce for courageous people seeking fame and money.


    '' <i>adventure</i><i> guild cliché, can''t have a fantasy story without an adventure guild i suppose''.</i>


    i thought before looking at the building infront of me.


    It had the same architectural splendor as its neighbor but had apletely different function.


    Within its walls, adventurers from many walks of life gathered to take on expeditions, quests, swap stories about their achievements, and prepare for perilous voyages into the unknown.


    It was a hotbed ofpanionship and risk-taking, where the spirit of discovery thrived.


    Moving around for a while i arrived at the centre of the city.


    The Marinthalis Alchemy Guild, located in the city''s heart, was well-known for its contributions to the growth of magical and alchemical skills. Its spire stretched towards the heavens, and itsboratories hummed with ceaseless experimentation.


    Alchemists and intellectuals from all over the world flocked to this institution to learn the ancient secrets, forge potent elixirs, and create great artifacts.


    It was a ce of innovation and discovery, where the boundaries of knowledge were constantly pushed.


    It was a center of continual innovation and discovery, pushing the boundaries of knowledge.


    Marinthalis City, with its distinct blend of splendor and industry, functioned as a crossroads formerce, adventure, and education.


    Its majesty extended far beyond its architectural marvels, because it was a ce where dreams were forged and destiny were shaped.


    As I explored its bustling streets and gazed upon its majestic buildings, I couldn''t help but feel that Marinthalis City live up to its name.


    '' <i>i can''t imagine this city will be demolished in a year''.</i>


    I contemted before turning to face the seemingly unending sea.
